Pa'rus Trail

For pet owners, bringing your pet to a national park can be a planning challenge.

• Rules prohibiting pets on trails are in place for your pet's protection. Zion National Park is home to insects, poisonous plants and wild animals.
  
• Negitive interactions with other pets, park wildlife, and visitors are a major concern for park managers.
  
• The harsh summer heat found in Zion National Park can be life-threatening for your pet. Never leave your pet in a closed vehicle!
  
• Pets must be under physical control on a leash no longer than six feet at all times. They are not allowed on the shuttle, in the backcountry, on trails, or in public buildings.
  
• Service Animals are allowed on all of Zion's trails and shuttle and must be clearly identified as such.
  
• All pets are allowed on the Pa'rus Trail, located near the Zion Canyon Visitor Center, but must be leashed.
  
• Boarding kennels are available in Rockville, Hurricane, Kanab, St. George, and Cedar City.
